Your home is the one place where you should be able to move around independently. People with reduced mobility can often find themselves considering moving home to a bungalow or an already accessible home to avoid having to make costly adjustments.
However, a through-the-floor home lift can offer you a cost-effective and practical solution that allows you to get upstairs and downstairs. If you want to make adjustments to your home so that you don’t need to move, these lifts are ideal. They offer you a range of benefits to help you move more independently around your home.
Independence at Home
It’s vital to have independence at home, and a through-the-floor lift makes this possible when you need to move between floors. If you need to get upstairs, the other option some people might consider is a standard sit-on stairlift. This can be a good choice for some people, but it’s not ideal for anyone who uses a wheelchair or might struggle to get in and out of the chair. A through-the-floor lifts can quickly take you between floors, whether you’re sitting or standing. Only one person is needed to operate them, so you don’t need help from anyone else if you don’t have any other requirements.
Space-saving
When people think of lifts, they often imagine large passenger lifts, like the ones you might find at a train station or in a shop. However, a through-the-floor lift in your home doesn’t have to take up a lot of space at all. They offer different sizes capable of carrying anywhere from one person standing to a person in a wheelchair with their carer. Only a small corner of the room both downstairs and upstairs is needed, and the lift won’t take up any more space than a wardrobe or cupboard.
High Safety Standards
Through-the-floor lifts provide a safe and reliable option for moving from one floor to another. They are all manufactured to high standards to provide fire and smoke protection and comply with industry safety requirements. Safety features in a through-the-floor lift include elements such as pressure-sensitive safety edges and backup batteries to ensure the lift doesn’t get stuck in the event of a power cut. Fire safety is paramount when using a lift in your home, so all through-the-floor lifts are manufactured to provide extremely high safety levels.
Easy to Install and Maintain
It doesn’t need to be difficult to install a lift in your home. It’s quick and easy to install your lift because it doesn’t require a shaft like some lifts do. Within two days, you could have a brand new lift installed in your home, allowing you to easily and quickly start moving between floors.
Through-the-floor lifts are customisable so you can choose design features and practical elements that suit your needs and your tastes. If you need any help servicing or repairing your lift, you’re chosen manufacturer should be able to help.
Increase your independence in your home with a through-the-floor lift. The numerous benefits it will bring to your home and your lifestyle are worth it.
